Artifacts
EXPLANATION OF ARTIFACTS
This artifact represents the roof plan of the residential house I drew. This roof plan helps provide evidence that I met the standards because it shoes I understand roof plans and also am aware of the different types of roof systems.

Course standard 5 is all about researching roof systems, styles, and terminology. Standard 5.1 states to recognize and compile various styles and constructions of roof systems, including hip, gable, mansard, gambrel, shed, and flat. A hip roof is a type of rood where all sides slope downwards to the walls. A mansard roof is a four- sided gambrel- style hip roof characterized by two slopes on each of its sides with the lower slope, punctured by dormer windows, at a steeper angle than the upper. A flat roof design is a roof that is literally flat or can be slightly angled one way. Standard 5.2 states to identify y and explain basic roofing terminology, including: rise, run, slope, pitch, overhang, eave line, and ridge line. The slope of a roof is how much of an angle the roof is at. The rise of a roof is how high up it is and the run is how long it is horizontally. The pitch is the number of inches a roof rises for every 12 inches it extends horizontally. Standard 5.3 states to research and compare environmental and sustainability issues in relation to roof design. Standard 5.4 states to assess the aesthetics of roofs. The aesthetics of roofs include different designs that are environmentally safe and better for your house in the long run. Standard 5.5 states to demonstrate the use of Computer- Aided Design (CAD) software related to problem solving roof systems, which was met last year in intro as well as this year in arch 1. I met this standard by getting my work done and learning about roofing systems. This standard has real- world application because if you are designing a building or house you need to know what type of roof is best for that building. My future learning goal is to expand my knowledge on the different types of roofs.
